    STATEMENT OF THE NAGORNO-KARABAKH REPUBLIC MINISTRY OF FOREIGN AFFAIRS

    Story from Lragir.am News:

    Published: 15:39:47 - 23/07/2012

    On July 19, the presidential elections were held in the
    Nagorno-Karabakh Republic (the Republic of Artsakh). 73,4% of the
    voters participated in the elections. International observers from
    22 countries, as well as local representatives of civil society
    and political parties monitored the elections. According to the
    international observers' preliminary estimate, the elections were
    held in compliance with the democratic standards and participation
    of several candidates thus ensuring free expression of will of the
    republic's citizens.

    The level of the elections held in the Nagorno-Karabakh Republic is
    comparable with the level of elections in the advanced democratic
    countries, and testifies to the irreversibility of the process of
    building a sovereign and independent state, commitment of our people
    to the ideals of freedom, democracy and peace building. The elections
    have once more demonstrated the correctness of the path chosen in the
    1991 referendum on independence. With every election the people of
    the NKR express their firm will to continue this path and the return
    of the NKR to the past is out of the question.

    In this regard, we consider it necessary to state that the
    participation in the elections and the formation of authorities via
    honest and fair elections is one of the fundamental rights fixed in
    the international law and their ignorance and non-recognition is a
    gross violation of the law.

    The speculations that the elections in the NKR may hinder the process
    of the Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement are groundless and
    pursue propaganda goals. The will of the NKR people is crucial in
    the conflict settlement process and this is fully recognized by the
    international community and the mediators.

    Development of democracy is a fundamental basis of state building
    in the NKR and corresponds to the interests of the civilized
    world community. That is why the attitude towards the presidential
    elections held in the NKR cannot be stipulated by subjective opinion
    of several political circles displaying conformism to the caprices
    of the official Baku.
